Wide steelies

OOO I like the steelies wonder where he got them and if they do reverse rims and wider, ummmm......

The rear end is now Jag XJS so is 114.3mm narrower track per side.

Mustang clocks now fitted and fully working (that was a wiring pain!!). English ford and USA Ford may use the same plugs but there wiring is none plug n play :@ grrrr. Few more hours on the wiring tomorrow and she should be running. Will take some more pics for you all.

[george91]

Mad project, this will be such a sleeper when its done. And at least with the narrow track you can run wide wheels without them sticking out the arches too much.

[dave1293gt]

Any updates on this?? With running 114.3 that is most jap stuff, could you not use the centres of some space savers and either change the rim or get them banded ?

[ChrisG10]

For the steelies, Contact James P on retro rides, he can band wheels to any size you want but theres a massive waiting list as his work is soooooooooooooo good and highly recommended by many
